Games Can Beat Depression & Anxiety

Yeah I knew a hardcore gamer that killed themselves, so no it doesnt beat anything. This is pseudo science junk and dangerous for those with real depression.

Not every person is the same and not everyone handles problems the same.  I speak from experience because I went through a rock bottom period that would have broken a lot of people in one way or another.  Gaming helped me through that, and had it not been for gaming in that period of my life, I would either still be a bum hating life, ended up in jail, or dead.  I used to look at myself in the mirror and tell myself that I hated myself and wondered if it even mattered I was gone.  I made some bad choices, and by the grace of god I was able to come back from that darkness.  There was a period before I found my way back however that I was just plain lost.  Gaming was whay helped me hold on to the sanity I still had left.

 

I am sorry about what happened to your friend, but the unfortunate circumstances of one person does not prove anything correct or incorrect to the masses.
